He also contributes meaningfully with ball in hand, averaging over six carries and nearly 16 metres per outing, with single-game peaks of 16 carries and 25 tackles underlining his capacity to step up when the team demands more. The combination of high-volume tackling and reliable carrying across four different competitions points to a flanker built for sustained, physical work.
